I just want to mention something about the negative interest rates in Europe. There is a reason for this, and it's supposed to be a net positive for citizens. The idea behind it is supposed to be that it encourages banks to not hoard their money and instead reinvest it back into things like mortgages and small business loans etc.
The general idea is that it's an encouragement for banks to put back into the economy via more profitable means that simply sitting on the money.

Tim Cook is going to kill cash? This has been happening a long time now I am not sure in which reality he has been living...
BTW Banks in EU are already charging depositors, they just do not call this charge for negative rate. They are constantly reducing interest rates for deposits and charging small fee for the internet banking services, which you always have with the account by default. ABN in the Netherlands has been doing this for quite a while now and i suspect the rest of the banks in the country as well. So they already doing this, they just do not call it a charge for the deposit but for the ¨extra services¨ and very few people take notice...
Definitely need a mouse with a different scroll wheel.
Going "off-rail" is not really a bad thing, per sey, because shenanigans, just as long as there isn't like a half hour ramble.
I think a simple, unglamorous way to decide what to do would be to pop a bunch of ideas into a poll then let users pick which idea they like the best and go with that. Maybe something really simple like "should we do a hardware review next or linux content?"
Anywho, I'm not a great source of input but I can add my support! I'll be chipping in to Patreon tomorrow (probably).
The puck looking thing on Microsoft's new machine seems incredibly useful for people who work with colors a lot. Being able to switch colors and other tools that fast anywhere on the screen can be a significant time saver. It looks like something that works even if you're a lefty and you need your left hand to hold the pen. So instead of rearranging the interface you just use that thing. It's a productivity tool. And it seems like a damn good one.
Would really be nice to have an intro like The TEK, doesn't have to be a bit or anything but some dialogue and intro music/graphic ( ascii art would be cool personally, think it fits the vibe you are going for. Just me though)
Also, was a bit of an echo or buzzing? I think having some music very low, on the verge of being inaudible in the background, would be a good thing to add.
Just my two cents, but keep up doing what ever you all want. Again happy you are back @wendell and you all look excited, ready to make great content.
